Colombian drug submarine seized



COLOMBIA'S navy has seized a 60ft submarine that drug traffickers used to haul 4.4 tons of cocaine at a time out to sea for shipment to the United States.

The vessel, made of glass fibre, was discovered at sea on Thursday 30 miles from the port of Buenaventura. Three people were arrested and two speedboats seized during the operation, but no narcotics were found.

Colombia is the world's leading cocaine producer, responsible for 90% of the drug consumed in the US.
